Step 1

Step 1

Start with the purple Kat Von D Lightning Liner in Poe. Click the pen one or two times only to prevent too much ink from coming out. Run the pen on the back of your hand to get rid of any excess product and to distribute an even amount of pigment on the tip of the brush. "It's very important to not over click the pen and use the back of your hand as a canvas to give you the perfect amount of product," Espinal says.
